Fairy Tales ( About a fisherman and a fish, About a pope and his Beetle-brain farm-hand)

The tale is composed of two tales: “About a fisherman and a fish” and “About a pope and his Beetle brain farm-hand”. Those stories were taken from Russian folk tales and made famous by Alexander Pushkin.

The messages of those folk stories are remembering about simple and basic truths. They remind us that wealth is not a ticket to happiness, while honest life is. It also warn us from greed and insensibility.
